SOLAR-HOME-SYSTEMS<br />
with <strong>Steca</strong> solar charge controllers<br />
Overview of devices<br />
A solar home system consists of a <strong>Steca</strong> solar charge controller, one or more<br />
solar modules, a battery and the connected loads.<br />
The <strong>Steca</strong> solar charge controllers control the energy flow of the entire system.<br />
They make sure that the solar module charges the battery quickly and<br />
effectively, but they also protect the battery against overcharging. If the<br />
loads discharge the battery, the solar charge controller, thanks to its precision<br />
in calculating the state of charge, switches off the load at exactly the right<br />
moment, thus protecting the battery from the dangers of deep discharge.<br />
Furthermore, <strong>Steca</strong> solar charge controllers are equipped with an intelligent<br />
battery monitoring system. The most effective charging method is selected<br />
according to the requirements of the batteries. The solar charge controller is<br />
the central controlling component in solar home systems, for it affects all the<br />
functions of the system. For this reason, it is important to choose a reliable<br />
and high-performance solar charge controller.<br />
The solar charge controller is connected directly to the battery using a cable<br />
as short as possible, and fixed to the wall near to the battery, so that it can<br />
be effectively cooled by the passing air flow.<br />
In principle, the battery is always connected to the solar charge controller<br />
first. Then the solar module array is connected to the solar module input of<br />
the solar charge controller. Only direct current loads are used in solar home<br />
systems. They are connected directly to the load output of the solar charge<br />
controller. This means the <strong>Steca</strong> solar charge controllers always show the<br />
battery‘s exact state of charge, and thus ensure optimal battery maintenance<br />
in all situations. Various <strong>Steca</strong> energy-saving lights, <strong>Steca</strong> solar cooling units,<br />
DC-to-DC converters and other loads can be used.<br />
